Highlights
Outing Highlights
Pristine barrier islands within reach
The charter gives you time to visit protected islands and sandbars—options include Anclote Key and Caladesi Island, among others—making wildlife, beachcombing and quiet shore time primary drawcards of the day.
Relaxed cruising with an option to crew
You can spend the day watching the water and shoreline pass by, or take a hands-on role in sailing—help set the sails or try the helm—so the trip suits both observers and active participants.
Flexible routing—sounds of the Gulf or sheltered sound
Itineraries are adaptable: cruise between barrier islands and sandbars or follow one of the passes out to the Gulf of Mexico and back, depending on your preference and conditions.
What the day feels like
What the 24-hour charter feels like
The outing unfolds at your pace over a single 24-hour period: mornings and afternoons can be spent ashore on a barrier island or on deck watching the sandbars and sea birds, and you may choose to head out through a Gulf pass for broader, open-water sailing. Start and end times for overnight trips are flexible, and you decide whether to take an active role in the sailing or simply enjoy the passage.
